Somewhat, yes.

There's a PR for the update:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246106

The cause of the delay is this: If we update boost, we test-build
all the depends. If there are errors, the maintainers of those
depending ports should fix those errors. That's not always easy, possible
or the maintainer is busy with other things.
